Description
This child's gravestone is marked by its soberness compared to other pieces of funeral art. Indeed, when other works of this period have many characters engraved and rich adornments, this one only represents a single child standing in the middle. This can either come from the high cost it would have meant if there had been more carving, or from the will to place the child as the unique subject of his gravestone.
